public interface Validation
Interface of a solution validation produced by a problem definition. The only requirement is that the
validation object can be converted into a boolean value that indicates whether the solution is valid
(see passed()
). A predefined simple implementation is provided that merely wraps
a boolean value (see SimpleValidation
).
When implementing custom delta validations, the validation of the current solution of a neighbourhood search is passed back to the problem to validate a move. Knowing only whether the current solution is valid or not might not be sufficient to efficiently validate the modified solution. In such case, custom validation objects can be designed that keep track of any additional metadata used for efficient delta validation.
